    Pennsbury Defense

    Point zone
    “12”
    BASICS
    • Initially a 2-3 look
    • Player on ball must apply heavy
    ball pressure.
    • Force to the baseline. Never the
    middle!
    • Off the ball defenders must
    react to passes while they are in
    the air, not after they have been
    caught.
    • Communicate! Great teams and
    players talk. Selfish teams and
    players are quiet.
    5 MAN
    • Must stay between the
    ball and basket at all
    times.
    • Give cautious pressure
    at high post. Don’t get
    beat to hoop.
    • Protect basket at all
    costs!
    Point guard (1)
    • Set up on the top side
    of zone.
    • Set up on right side of
    floor. Most offenses
    trigger on this side.
    • Call ball and contain.
    Shooting guard (2)
    • Sets up on left side of
    zone because most
    shots will come off to
    his side.
    • He is the best
    rebounding guard
    Small Forward (3)
    • Sets up on the bottom
    of the zone on the
    right side.
    • This player will
    normally be the better
    on ball defender of the
    forwards.
    Power Forward (4)
    • Sets up on the bottom
    left side because this
    player is the best
    rebounding forward.
    Movements

    Talk-Fly-Contest-Deny
    Movements
    • Player on the ball MUST
    yell “ball” every time.
    • The player opposite and
    behind is in the hole and
    MUST yell “hole” every
    time
    • If point is on the ball then
    PF is hole man and vice
    versa
    Ball reversal
    • When the ball is
    reversed the 2-3 look
    will quickly change to
    a 1-3-1 once the
    “hole” man is
    established.
    Bluffing
    • When the ball is passed to
    the wing, the low man(3
    or 4) will bluff, or foot
    fake to give the 1 time to
    get over.
    • Thus, after the initial
    pass, the 1 will still be on
    the ball, with the 3
    covering the baseline
    runner.
    Off the Ball
    • The high guard (1 or
    2) will have a hand
    and foot in high post
    area to cover big man.
    • Weak side low man
    will be the “hole
    man.”
    Baseline Runner
    • This can be tricky
    • If ball side low man (3) is covering, the opposite low man
    (4) will have to come across, cover the runner and pressure
    and force baseline.
    • The 3 will drop back into a help position on the high post
    (hand and foot).
    • The 5 stays between ball and hoop
    • The 1 is now the “hole” man, but he is looking to cheat the
    weak side wing.
    • The 2 will be in basket protect position.
    What if…the high post catches?
    • The 5 will come out
    and give cautious
    pressure. ( A hand up
    but not so close as to
    get beaten)
    • If the ball is dribbled
    the 1 and 2 will get a
    hand in for a
    deflection.
    What if…someone cuts through?
    • Stamp the cutter until
    the 5 man or hole man
    picks him up.
    • The get bask in
    position ASAP!
    What if…someone dribbles
    penetrates?
    • It better not!
    • If so, the man on the ball
    stays with the dribbler.
    • If dribbler is not
    penetrating and going
    around perimeter, the rule
    is…
    • Rotate away from dribbler
    if he is coming toward
    you. Rotate toward
    dribbler if he is going
    away from you.
    This is dedicated to all lovers of
    Zone defense!!!
